Got it, okay, understood — the everyday confirmation used across Mexico and Central America. Cheque is the casual nod of agreement, the quick green light before getting on with things. It lands softer than a formal 'de acuerdo' but hits the same note.

A total jerk — shameless, mean-spirited, and willing to screw people over without losing a second of sleep. In Mexico, ojete is one of those insults that cuts deep because it implies not just rudeness but a genuine lack of moral character. Not someone you want in your corner.

A Mexican who grew up in or lives in the United States and mixes Spanish with English — sometimes forgetting one, sometimes blending both. Pocho carries complex feelings: used as a light jab in Mexico for being 'too American,' but also claimed with pride by many Mexican-Americans navigating dual cultures.

Your tight-knit group of close friends — the people you always hang out with and roll with everywhere. In Mexico and Central America, the palomilla is more than just friends; it's your crew, your squad, the people who show up to everything together.
